I'm not a fiction writer, but rather a software designer, and we do have to write things like design documents, marketing blurbs for our new features and more. It's so very technical, "left brain" thinking. When I'm stuck on a software design or problem, exercise the other, more artistic "right" side of my brain by logging onto the Shoes of Prey website (www.shoesofprey.com) and design my own shoes. It's an interactive application where you can design everything from flip flops to boots..pick your fabric, heel height, straps, leather color and more. I design for hours..but only have purchased my custom designed shoes a couple of times. After a fun design session, I'm ready to get back to the software stuff!
